Aspen Gay Ski Week

Five decades of legacy lead Aspen Gay Ski Week to its Golden Jubilee: January 17–24, 2027. This is a movement rich in civil rights history. Experience a week of sport and culture that is quite literally one for the books.

Aspen Gay Ski Week (AGSW) is the oldest annual, week-long LGBTQ+ ski event in the nation. A model for other LGBTQ+ ski weeks, AGSW offers a unique vacation experience in the scenic and historic mountain town of Aspen, Colorado. AGSW visitors enjoy four mountains of varied skiing and snowboarding terrain, as well as cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and winter hiking trails in the Elk Mountains of Colorado.

In addition to skiing and snowboarding, they also offer a full 7 days of indoor events: Lunches both on and off the mountain • Panel Discussions • Daily aprés ski (happy hour for city folk) • Nightly Friendship Dinners at Supporting Restaurants • Late Night Dance Parties • Drag Queen Bingo • Comedy Shows • Top of the Mountain Party • Indoor Pool Party • And so much more!

Not Just a Party – Aspen Gay Ski Week is also the annual fundraising event for AspenOUT. AspenOUT is dedicated to empowering the LGBTQIA+ (Q+) community and their families across the Roaring Fork Valley, nationwide and worldwide via digital curricula. Through innovative programming, vital resources, and strategic financial support, they champion the well-being of all queer individuals—lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual, and beyond—fostering a culture of understanding and belonging. They alleviate the financial barriers to essential specialized therapy for families, cultivate the potential of Q+ youth through empowerment initiatives, and build a vibrant community for adults and allies through engaging programs.
